Severe iron deficiency anaemia with very low haemoglobin in pediatric age group
Main Article Content
Abstract
Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is the most common single-nutrient deficiency worldwide, posing a significant public health challenge due to its extensive impact on vulnerable populations, particularly children. In the pediatric population, especially among children aged 1–5 years, IDA affects approximately 1–2% in developed regions, with a significantly higher prevalence in low socioeconomic settings. This disparity is attributed to multiple factors, including inadequate dietary intake of bioavailable iron, recurrent infections, parasitic infestations, and limited access to healthcare.
